Wednesday, May 23rd~
I knew yesterday I needed to go over music for practice tonight. I knew it and just put it off and figured it would be okay because I have an ear for harmony and can usually just hop in pretty quickly. Somehow between the gym and practice time, my brain decided to forget how to do that. It was pretty embarrassing. Nothing like trying to find your notes with a microphone right next to your mouth! I did let it drop during the worst parts. I'm just feeling annoyed because I love music practice and it's usually a very happy time for me and I wrecked it for myself by not being prepared. Still today was better than yesterday...

Got to go to The Florida Orchestra tonight. I LOVE classical music. You know how your body feels after a great hour long massage? That's how my brain feels after a night at the orchestra, just totally relaxed and easy. The concert theme was Postcards From Paris. The conductor was the perky Sarah Hicks. She bring so much energy and mirth to her conducting- it's a joyful experience to watch her. The music selection was fantastic. I would have been happy with Debussy all night, but then there was also several Django Reinhardt pieces, Gershwin, and Come What May from Moulin Rouge. It was just an amazing evening and I got to share it with my good friend Amy so I'm honestly still just floating.
